“Growth is fun. In the past 12 months, Twitter users sent an astonishing 25 billion Tweets and we added more than 100 million new registered accounts. In that time, our team has grown from 130 people to more than 350 today,” wrote Twitter in their blog this afternoon.

The company has also added Flipboard’s CEO Mike McCue and DoubleClick‘s former CEO David Rosenblatt to its board of directors. McCue was formerly the CEO of Tellme Networks and has also worked for Netscape and Microsoft (which acquired Tellme in 2007).

Investor KPCB has a track record of helping build great companies, ranging from Amazon to Zynga, Twitter writes, and it provides Twitter with a team that has expertise in Internet, mobile and social platforms. Twitter plans to use the additional resources and expertise as it continues to grow as a company and business.
